What size (in amps) DC power supply would be ideal for this psu? Can I use a input voltage of 13.5v will it regulate it down to 12v? Thanks!

Enough to power the *entire* load your motherboard presents, plus a safety factor for inefficiency plus startup. It does not regulate the 12V, so no. Use a reputable 12VDC power supply, not one of those $8 specials. When I use these, I build the entire system and power it from an ordinary high-efficiency PSU, run at full load. Measure the power draw with a Kill-A-Watt. Size the 12VDC supply accordingly.

I would recommend this PSU calculator... http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

Good morning. Yes the power supply you have mentioned will work just fine. Anything over 650w will work. You might want to consider a higher wattage if you are using more than two hard drives in the case.

could you please check and tell me what's the rating for the external DC supply ? Vdc ? and current rating (mA)?appreciate your help.thx

500W is fine for a PSU. For future reference use this page: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jspI find it more accurate than the one provided here from Asus.

Yes. I am running it just fine off a 650W PS. Make sure its a decent quality Power supply though.

Any standard power supply will fit. You will need to determine your overall system requirements before you decide what wattage you will need.

Would think this power supply should do the trick. My system is close to the one you describe and it does fine. Will let you know there is an info message about the fan on the power supply not running at low power moments but will kick in if the unit needs more power.

The PSU is rated for input voltage of 100-240V. It will work with power types other than 110-120V.

yes, you should be fine considering psus work best when theire at their limits. you can also use teh asus psu calculator here, http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx, to give you an idea of what you need. Just put in your specs and it will tell you the RECOMMENDED psu wattage which is always more than enough. 600 is fine.

Not a good power supply. My rig was using only 300watts and the supply would crash. Try to find a good gold certified one, you wont regret the extra safety

Thanks - is the current (amps) within usual range for 450 watt power supplies? Sometimes I find on these cards that you actually need another 100 watts in PS rating just to get up to the 12v rail amps they want - not enough amps means "DOA" = RMA although the card is actually fine.

This one should do the trick. It's 150w and 19.5v. It's great for my power hungry alienware. Good luck!

I suggest you buy a converter which supports power at least 3 times larger than what you really need, this will make you less trouble. Thus for your PS, 500W seems good enough.

This is not a good psu. Buy http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEJZ1N4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi robert,Sorry for the delay, I used a watt meter to see how much my system was using. I have a big CPU cooler and this graphic card and I was reading 300 or so watts at the wall receptacle. I lean the way of others. While you could probably get by for a while with your power supply, solid voltage = stability in the computer world. If your PS is always near its limit, you may run in a lot of issues. A PS is fairly cheap and easy to install. I have a seatronic 750 S series to give me room for expansion in the future but it may be an overkill. A good 650 would be just fine for sure.Regards Hi robert,Sorry for the delay, I used a watt meter to see how much my system was using.

Refer to the Corsair website. They list this information for each model power supply under Tech Specs.
